Geochemical and Petrographic Characterization of Marine-Continental Transitional Facies Shale (Qilian Basin, China): Origin of Organic Matter Input, …
2021
This study, for the first time, investigates the source, keroger pattern, evolution degree, sedimentary environment, and evaluates the hydrocarbon generating ability of marine-continental transitional facies shale from the Ebao area of the Qilian Basin in western China. The organic-rich shales of the marine-continental transitional facies were subjected to total organic carbon (TOC), rock pyrolysis, the biomarkers and kerogen microscopy analyses. The kerogen microscopy analyses indicated that the sample from ZK001 well and ZK2002 well had a mass of vitrinite and small number of exinite, so kerogen type was mainly humic. According to vitrinite reflectance, the organic matter was in the stage…
Topological magneto-optical effects and their quantization in noncoplanar antiferromagnets
2018
Reflecting the fundamental interactions of polarized light with magnetic matter, magneto-optical effects are well known since more than a century. The emergence of these phenomena is commonly attributed to the interplay between exchange splitting and spin-orbit coupling in the electronic structure of magnets. Using theoretical arguments, we demonstrate that topological magneto-optical effects can arise in noncoplanar antiferromagnets due to the finite scalar spin chirality, without any reference to exchange splitting or spin-orbit coupling. We propose spectral integrals of certain magneto-optical quantities that uncover the unique topological nature of the discovered effect. We also find th…
Confidencialidad y protección de datos en la mediación en la Unión Europea
2018
La mediación, su confidencialidad y la protección de datos son muy importantes en el siglo XXI y objeto autónomo de muchos estudios. No obstante, en raras ocasiones se analiza la conjunción de estos elementos y las muchas exigencias jurídicas que se derivan. Se efectúan propuestas de mejora en la normativa y en los marcos contractuales de la mediación. Primero, el estudio analiza la confidencialidad y su interactuación con la protección de datos. Se analizan los sujetos obligados, el alcance de las obligaciones, su duración y garantías así como, finalmente las excepciones y restricciones a la confidencialidad. La segunda aproximación se hace desde la protección de datos, pues toda mediación…
Dos modelos pedagógicos con y en la naturaleza
2019
espanolEste articulo analiza la aparicion de los campamentos juveniles, uno de los nuevos mecanismos de intervencion pedagogica no formal, en los cuales se plasmaron los cambios del rol social experimentado por la juventud en las sociedades europeas durante las primeras decadas del siglo XX. Aunque el contacto con la naturaleza resultaba innovador, hubo diversos modelos de aplicacion con orientacion dispar. Este trabajo se centra en las dos mas relevantes que se dieron en la Espana de la primera mitad del siglo XX. El primero puesto en marcha por Los Exploradores de Espana, la organizacion que introdujo el escultismo en nuestro pais. El segundo planteado por el Frente de Juventudes, la enti…
Vermetid reefs in the Mediterranean Sea as archives of sea-level and surface temperature changes
2011
Vermetid reefs are among the most important bioconstructions in the Mediterranean Sea, with a distribution restricted to the warmest part of the basin. Their structure, and vertical and geographical distribution make them good biological indicators of changes in sea level and sea-surface temperature over the last two millennia.
An improvement of June-September rainfall forecasting in the Sahel based upon region April-May moist static energy content (1968-1997)
1999
This study provides statistical evidence that June–September Sahelian rainfall hindcasts currently based on oceanic thermal predictors apprehend more the negative trend than the interannual rainfall variations. Four physically meaningful predictors of June–September Sahel rainfall are first selected through the near-surface April–May information and several experimental hindcasts provided. We then discuss the skills achieved using regression techniques and cross-validated discriminant functions. In that context, 8/11 of the driest seasons and 8/10 of the wettest are correctly predicted. Finally using completely independent training and working periods we show that better and significant hin…
Analysis of the atmospheric and emissivity influence on the splitwindow equation for sea surface temperature
1994
Abstract In this paper we have analysed the effects of the different atmospheric species (water vapour, fixed gases and aerosols) and the surface emissivity on the split-window method for determining the sea surface temperature. The widely used split-window method is based on the differential absorption of water vapour in the atmospheric window 10.5ndash;12.5 μm. Other atmospheric species with absorption coefficients different to that of water vapour can then have a large influence on the split-window. The effect of gases, such as C02, N20, CH4, CO and 03, and maritime aerosols is evaluated by comparing the effect of the water vapour alone. To do this we simulated AVHRR measurements in chan…
Land Surface Temperature From the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer: Validation Over Inland Waters and Vegetated Surfaces
2009
The land surface temperature (LST) product of the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) was validated with ground measurements at the following two thermally homogeneous sites: Lake Tahoe, CA/NV, USA, and a large rice field close to Valencia, Spain. The AATSR LST product is based on the split-window technique using the 11- and 12- mum channels. The algorithm coefficients are provided for 13 different land-cover classes plus one lake class (index i). Coefficients are weighted by the vegetation-cover fraction (f). In the operational implementation of the algorithm, i and f are assigned from a global classification and monthly fractional vegetation-cover maps with spatial resolution…
Determination of sea surface temperature using combined TOVS and AVHRR data. Application to the Canary Islands area, Spain
1996
Abstract The determination of sea surface temperature from satellite is performed by means of multi-channel algorithms with channels 4 and 5 of AVHRRNOAA or using radiative transfer models and radiosounding profiles of air temperature and humidity. In this work, an alternative to the current algorithms has been established. A new method combining the information supplied by sensors of TOVS and AVHRR systems onboard NOAA satellites is proposed. It is based on the split-window technique, the coefficients A and B being determined as a function of the water vapour content, which is calculated using the TOVS sensors. The T4 and T5 temperatures are supplied by the AVHRR system. Then, combining bo…
Consumer Demand for Environmental, Social, and Ethical Information in Fishery and Aquaculture Product Labels
2022
[EN] Customers' attention to sustainability labels in fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) has been increasing in the last decades, and the industry has adapted to this growing interest by adopting fish ecolabels. However, there is a growing interest to widen the sustainability concept to include the social and ethical information of the fishery and aquaculture industry and to go further from the voluntary approach on the labeling of these aspects in FAPs. For this reason, using data from 2021 Eurobarometer and using machine learning techniques, we disentangle the characteristics of the FAP buyers that consider the importance of environmental impact, ethical, and social information appea…
